Equation of line parallel to y = -0.75x that passes through (8,0) is: y = -0.75x-6

Step-by-step explanation:

Given equation of line is:

$y=-0.75x$

The coefficient of x is the slope of the line so the slope of given line is: -0.75

As parallel lines have equal slopes so the required equation of line will have the same slope.

The slope-intercept form is:

$y = mx+b$

Putting the value of the slope

$y = -0.75x+b$

To find the value of b, putting the point in the equation

$0 = -0.75(8)+b\\0 = -6+b\\b = 6$

Putting the values of m and b, we get

$y = -0.75x-6$

Hence,

Equation of line parallel to y = -0.75x that passes through (8,0) is: y = -0.75x-6

9.35 as a fraction in simpliest form

Lana71 [14]

We know that
the number $9.35$
is equal to
$9+0.35$
and
$0.35$ is equal to
$35/100$
divide by 5 both members
$\frac{35}{100} = \frac{7}{20}$

therefore

the number $9.35$ is equal to $9 \frac{7}{20}$

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Rewrite is order going from least to greatest.

1, 2, 3, 4, 4, 4, 4, 4, 5, 5, 5, 7

Find the middle number.

Because there are an even amount of numbers you have to take the two middle numbers which are 4 and 4 add them which gives you 8 and then divide that by 2( because you added two numbers.)

Therefore the answer is 4

How many different triangles can be constructed using angle measurements 81 52 and 47? I need the answer really fast and like ri

solniwko [45]

The options are:
A) exactly one triangle;
B) no triangles;
<span>C) more than one triangle.</span>

First thing, let's see if these angles can make a triangle:
(81 + 52 + 47) = 180

We know that the sum of the inner angles of a triangle must equal 180°, therefore yes, they can be angles of a triangle.

With only the measure of the angles and nothing about the sides, we can construct as many triangles as we want: try, indeed, to construct a triangle with given angles bus sides of your choice; then, double the sides. You will get a triangle that is twice the size, but the angles remained the same.

Hence, the correct answer is C) more than one triangle.
